SMART REDEMPTIONS

These hotels make burnout disappear

If there’s one thing every busy business owner needs, it’s a little break from the grind to focus on some rest and relaxation.

And while wellness resorts are the perfect place for recuperation, they can be pretty tough on your wallet.

The great news — especially for anyone racking up points on their business spend — is that there is no shortage of incredible wellness retreats that you can book with points.

Here are some spots worth splurging your rewards on.

If you want to keep your trip stateside, this Sonoran Desert resort is flush with year-round serotonin-enhancing sunshine. (It’s also reportedly Oprah’s favorite wellness stay.)

Or check out this cutting-edge Miami resort that offers targeted therapies to regulate the nervous system and improve cognitive function.

Or this heavenly Waikiki hotel that offers a new signature experience tailored for busy folks who need a conscious mind-body reset.

Europe has plenty of great options, like this stunning Italian resort and spa with a bird’s-eye view of Lake Garda and a full complement of relaxing amenities.

Or this serene (and sustainable) all-suite resort in Mallorca that defies the island’s reputation for overstimulation.

But if you really want to get away, consider this beloved Maldives resort that embodies barefoot luxury (literally: shoes aren’t required at any of the restaurants). Or let the sound of the waves soothe your soul in an overwater villa at this other Maldives resort.

There are many more great options, too, so check out our full list of hotels that are perfect for a points-funded reset

INCREDIBLE OFFERS

Chase's biggest-ever bonus could be yours

If premium travel experiences are a priority for you, there’s a business card offer right now that deserves your full attention.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ is a card that truly opens up new worlds in luxury travel — and there’s never been a better time to get one.

That’s because currently, new cardholders can earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $30,000 on purchases in the first six months from account opening.

This is not only the highest-ever offer on this card — it’s Chase’s highest points bonus ever!

Beyond the staggering value of 200,000 Ultimate Rewards points (worth more than $4,000 per our valuations), this premium rewards card packs more than $2,500 in value each year, which more than offsets its $795 annual fee. (Think airport lounge access, luxury hotel credits, flexible travel credits, etc.)

Plus, you can maximize your points by transferring them Chase’s top-notch lineup of hotel and airline partners — including World of Hyatt, where this card still gives you the extremely valuable 1:1 transfer ratio.

Keep in mind: Before this card debuted in 2025, we had never seen a Chase offer this high — making this a historic opportunity for business owners.

This is not just a record-high 200,000-point bonus — it’s a full travel and lifestyle upgrade that deliversover $6,500 in first-year value.
